Lover Under Fire - The Glorious Sons

Darling,

I’m getting kind of tired

Of being a lover,

Under fire.

And darling,

Things will never get brighter

If I remain,

Under fire.

And I,

Am on my way.

Will you help

To keep my heart alive?

Give me silence,

And give me time.

Give me a good fall,

To fix my mind.

I could be there,

On your death bed

To pass you over,

When you are older,

To burn your body,

But I cannot remain,

A lover under fire.

And I,

I wanna harbor my name,

Because time,

Is an endless highway.

And light,

Daring, it just ain’t.

Would you lighten the silence

In the dark that awaits?

I could be there,

On your death bed

To pass you over,

When you are older,

To burn your body.

I could pledge my (unknown),

To your heart and your blood.

But I cannot remain,

A lover under fire.

I wanna die singing your favourite song,

In an old abandoned church with the lights turned off.

Smoking cigarettes 'til the fire starts,

'Til there’s nothing but a burnt cross and broken hearts.

I wanna live in the shadows of hell,

Making new to things I might have done

To you, can’t get away from my kind of sin,

There’s nothing left to burn and nowhere to run.

I could be there,

On your death bed

To pass you over,

When you are older,

To burn your body,

I could pledge my (unknown),

To your heart and your blood.

But I cannot remain,

A lover under fire.

A lover under fire.

A lover under fire.

A lover under fire.
